Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Holly Hills

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Housing insecurity runs 32.2% against 14.2% nationally. This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $35,882, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10.

It sits 0.9 points above the Muscogee County average of 4.1. Average gross rent is $978, 12% below the Columbus average. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.9/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
